Argentina to Townsville: Angus makes Carrera Cup return

Elite Class campaigner Ray Angus will have travelled a long way to contest the coming round of Porsche City Index Carrera Cup Australia in Townsville.

After business commitments took him to the southern Argentine region of Patagonia, Angus recently returned to Australia having only competed in the Albert Park round of the season.

The Queenslander will contest the remaining four rounds of the 2012 championship; excited to again be part of the action – and not watching it via low-speed internet in South America.

“It has been frustrating monitoring the practice sessions, race results and watching live telecasts of the racing via a satellite dish from our drill camp in Santa Cruz, Argentina,” said Angus.

“However this has provided an important lifeline to motivate me to return to Australia and compete in the final four Carrera Cup rounds. Townsville is like kicking off a whole new start to the race calendar for me.”

Angus also plans to use the Townsville round as a getaway for him and his family.

“On this occasion I will have the complete ‘six-girl’ family in tow, travelling together in the lead up to the event.”

Matt Kingsley, who raced in Angus’s Porsche at both Adelaide and Phillip Island, will compete in the Guest Car for the Townsville round.
